BALANCE SHEET AND CAPITAL POSITION

Douglas Elliman maintained a robust balance sheet as of September 30, 2026, with cash and cash equivalents of approximately $102.7 million as well as an additional $20 million in a U.S. Treasury Bill and no long-term debt. This financial profile provides the Company with flexibility to return capital to stockholders, invest across its strategic priorities, including people, technology and operations, and pursue disciplined growth opportunities.

The Board of Directors has approved a share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $10 million of its common stock, reflecting the Company’s continued focus on disciplined capital allocation and long-term stockholder value. The authorization does not obligate the Company to repurchase any particular amount of common stock during any period and the program may be modified or suspended at any time at the Company's discretion. Stock repurchases may be made from time to time and the actual amount repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including market conditions, cash flow, and liquidity needs, regulatory and legal requirements, and other factors. The stock repurchases may be made in both open market and privately negotiated transactions and may include the use of derivative contracts, structured share repurchase agreements, and Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 trading plans. Repurchases are expected to be funded from cash on hand. The Company had approximately 91 million shares of common stock outstanding as of November 4, 2026.

OUTLOOK

Looking ahead, the Company has a development marketing pipeline of approximately $26 billion, with an additional $11.8 billion scheduled to come to market through December 31, 2027. The Company is also advancing its AI transformation, which is expected to gradually drive significant savings in non-commission operating expenses over the next three years.

Douglas Elliman remains focused on positioning the Company to deliver long-term stockholder value by modernizing its operating platform, strengthening operational efficiency, investing in exceptional agent talent, and pursuing disciplined growth in key luxury markets.

STRATEGIC GROWTH INITIATIVES

Douglas Elliman continues to focus on its luxury residential real estate business while investing in its people, technology, operations and related capabilities.

Technology and AI Investment

Douglas Elliman continues to advance its company-wide technology transformation to support its evolution into a technology-forward real estate brokerage. The Company is working to modernize workflows, processes and infrastructure across the organization, with a focus on improving efficiency and providing agents and employees with better tools to support their work.

The Company remains focused on gradually realizing efficiencies in non-commission operating expenses beginning in 2027.

Recently, Douglas Elliman added dedicated leadership to support these efforts. Sharon Milz joined Douglas Elliman Realty as Head of AI Technology Transformation, overseeing the Company’s enterprise AI strategy and deployment. Nick Patino joined Douglas Elliman Realty as Director of AI Enablement, focused on integrating AI capabilities into the Company’s operations and driving adoption and productivity.

Operational Leadership

Douglas Elliman Realty also appointed Jamie Gagliano as Chief Operations Officer, Brokerage. In this role, she is focused on the Company’s national brokerage operations, including opportunities to simplify processes, strengthen support for agents and build a more scalable organization.

Conference Call to Discuss Third Quarter 2026 Results

As previously announced, the Company will host a conference call and webcast to discuss its third quarter 2026 results on Tuesday, November 10, 2026 at 8:00 a.m. (ET).

Investors may access the call via live webcast at https://join.eventcastplus.com/eventcastplus/douglas-elliman-third-quarter-earnings-call. Please join the webcast at least 10 minutes prior to start time.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

Adjusted EBITDA attributed to Douglas Elliman Inc., Adjusted Net Loss attributed to Douglas Elliman Inc. and financial measures for the last twelve months (“LTM”) ended September 30, 2026 (referred to as the “Non-GAAP Financial Measures”) are financial measures not prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company believes that the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are important measures that supplement discussion and analysis of its results of operations and enhance an understanding of its operating performance.

The Company believes the Non-GAAP Financial Measures provide investors and analysts with a useful measure of operating results unaffected by differences in capital structures and ages of related assets among otherwise comparable companies.

Management uses the Non-GAAP Financial Measures as measures to review and assess the operating performance of the Company’s business, and management does, and investors should review both the overall performance (GAAP net income (loss)) and the operating performance (the Non-GAAP Financial Measures) of the Company’s business. While management considers the Non-GAAP Financial Measures to be important, they should be considered in addition to, but not as substitutes for or superior to, other measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP, such as operating income (loss), net income (loss) and cash flows from operations. In addition, the Non-GAAP Financial Measures are susceptible to

varying calculations and the Company’s measurement of the Non-GAAP Financial Measures may not be comparable to those of other companies. Attached hereto as Tables 2 and 3 is information relating to the Company’s Non-GAAP Financial Measures for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026 and 2025, the LTM ended September 30, 2026 and the year ended December 31, 2025.
